The Freight Train was created by Randall Kaufmann (as the story goes) while fishing Oregon’s famed Deschutes River he was watching a freight train go by and a steelhead hit his yet to be named pattern….and so was born the Freight train. This is a wonderful dark scheme attractor pattern just perfect for Summer Run Fish with brilliant color contrasts of white, purple, fluorescent orange and fluorescent red. It lights up well in the water and is easy to see at long distances for both fish and angler. It is not just a Steelhead fly as it has a reputation for catching all the various species of Pacific Salmon making it an obvious choice for Alaska. Freight Train is just a perfect design to fish with the traditional wet fly swing so common in West Coast Salmon and Steelhead fishing. This pattern also works well for the Midwest Salmon runs that come out of the major rivers of the Great Lakes. All in all this is a very effective and most universal fly for any of the pelagic species regardless of the location.
